Raptor 37 Chassis + Shelby GT500 V-8 = T-Rex Hunter

Nobody's bombing across a desert at 180 mph, so high-rpm power is deemphasized. Reducing the redline from 7,500 to 7,000 rpm allowed the supercharger pulley diameter to shrink, which means the Eaton TVS R2650 blower spools up more quickly at lower rpm without fear of over-revving at the top end. Breathing is also improved with a new conical air filter that improves airflow by 66 percent.

The engine's lubrication circuit is significantly enhanced with a deeper, higher-capacity oil pan and a bar-plate oil-to-water cooling system that's integrated into the engine cooling circuit—a setup that works better for towing than the GT500's track-optimized oil-to-air cooler. There's also a new viscous aluminum crankshaft balancer.You can't simply yank out a 450-hp/510-lb-ft twin-turbo V-6, slap in a 700-hp/640-lb-ft V-8, and then send it off with a factory warranty.
